Hi, my name is McKenzie, and my name is Abby. We are Fuel Up to Play 60 Ambassadors from Kentucky. We helped start a service learning project called “Cardinals Play 60” to raise money for a new playground to help our community commit to 60 minutes of daily physical activity! In 2013 we were introduced to Fuel Up to Play 60 and started our recent project, Cardinals Play 60. In the middle of 2013, we started grabbing more people’s attention by encouraging others to sign up for Fuel Up to Play 60 and the Cardinals Play 60 Playground Project.
We now have over 115 students signed up on Fuel Up to Play 60 and over 100 volunteers signed up to help build a new playground. 
Over time we have accomplished many goals such as raising $85,000 for our playground, getting more people involved, and encouraging others to eat healthier and get active for at least 60 minutes a day. This school year we hosted many events such as Family Fitness Nights, make your own smoothie, a 5K Race, Milk Mustache booth, in- class physical activity breaks, painted maps on our playground, plus played dodgeball and had a dance off with NFL players. We have also made videos to inform others about the physical benefits of exercise and the Cardinals Play 60 project.
Fuel Up to Play 60 helped us by showing us that eating healthy and exercising is an important part in our life. We enjoy seeing people excited about our project and living a healthier lifestyle. We have had an amazing journey through Fuel Up to Play 60 and we wish it would last forever!
